Best Time & Weather
The best time to visit Koh Samui is during the dry season, from late December to April, when the weather is sunny and the seas are calm. February and March are particularly pleasant. Avoid the peak of the monsoon season in October and November, as heavy rains can disrupt boat trips and outdoor activities.
Currency & Money
The local currency is the Thai Baht (THB). While high-end resorts and restaurants widely accept major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), it is useful to carry some cash for smaller markets. Tipping is not strictly mandatory in Thailand but is highly appreciated in luxury settings; 10% is a standard gesture for exceptional service.
Getting Around
For a luxury experience, avoid the local 'Songthaews' and opt for private chauffeur-driven cars or luxury car rentals. Apps like Grab are available on the island, providing a reliable way to book private transport. For island hopping, private yacht or speedboat charters are the only way to travel with exclusivity and comfort.
